Those two concepts are not mutuality exclusive...


I guess this means that by Subsim logic Doctor Who + The Lone Ranger = Firefly...

Firefly is arguably the best sci-fi series ever, but short-lived and unknown by many.

But you don't know Dr. Who? Launched in 1963 in Britain, ran until 1987, revived a couple of years ago and quite popular?

Interesting.

I just had a quick look at Wiki and Google, it seems the series is not popular with us Germans, not even much known in general. I did not even find it being broadcasted over here by any German station, just the BFBS for the British troops in Germany covered some areas of Westgermany with its TV broadcasts of episodes from this series. The few fan activity that there is in Germany (does not look any impressive to me at all) thus focusses on some members living in right these places. From the 80s I remember that BFBS TV was not available on German TV, only the radio program was receivablew in most of Germany. I did not even know until today that BFBS had a TV channel as well.

I have heared the title before, but it never meant anything to me. Some British series have become extremely popular in Germany and are considered as evergreens until today, but Dr. Who is none of them. the most popular Brit-TV imports here are probably "The Avengers" and here the Diana Rigg seasons, and "All Creatures Big and Small". "The Professionals" also was and still is popular with many. I happen to love them all three, but especially "All Creatures" and "CI5" - and back then: "Space 1999"

The taste is a little different, in Germany perhaps these series had no attention..
